DB Error: connect failed

Hi,

I have gone throught the setup.php all the way without any problems but when it was DONE with the setup script. I tried accessing the page by going to http://localhost/oreon/, i get this error:

DB Error: connect failed

Can someone point me in the right direction? as to where i should look?

Thanks

Had the same problem; with me it was the fact that Oreon uses MySQL 4.1 and it changed the password hash length. Oreon creates 4.1 passwords and with older clients (pre 4.1) you aren't able to connect anymore.

In mysql, use "set password for 'oreon'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('my_oreon_password'); to resolve.

Maybe this will help.
